Hatstone Lawyers and Ravenscroft are continuing to support the development of local rugby through the on-going sponsorship of Jersey Athletic.

The two companies have partnered to support Jersey Athletic for a second successive year. The substantial sponsorship, which is shared between Hatstone and Ravenscroft , provides the financial backing needed to allow the team to play in a competitive mainland league, including the team's travel and kit requirements.

Simon Vivian, group partner of Hatstone Lawyers, commented, 'As the inaugural sponsor, we have been proud to see the growth of Jersey Athletic into what it has become and we look forward to continuing to support the team in the coming season.'

Haydn Taylor, CEO of Ravenscroft Jersey, commented, 'As a local business, Ravenscroft has a long history of supporting the local community and has a strong affiliation with Jersey Rugby Club. We are particularly proud to support the development of young players in the Island and wish the team every success for the new season.'

Mark Morgan and Cliff Chipperfield, co-chairmen, Jersey Athletic, added, 'We are extremely grateful for our close relationship with Ravenscroft and Hatstone. Their outstanding support allows the club to provide a platform to allow Jersey's amateur rugby players to be the best they can be.'
